+ln%281%2F2%29+=+highlight%28+-ln%282%29+%29+

You can see this from +ln%28a%2Fb%29+=+ln%28a%29+-+ln%28b%29+, (by setting a=1, b=2 )

Remember, ln(x) is the value (an exponent) that e must be raised to to get back x. +e%5E%28ln%28x%29%29+=+x+.
Study the properties of logarithms, maybe try to derive some of them to make it really sink in.
